About Allegiant Air

Allegiant Air is an American low-cost airline. It is one of those airlines that offers cheap base fares, but dings you on the baggage. Be aware that you are allowed only a single "personal item" for free, so you will be charged if flying with a carry-on bag that goes into the overhead bins.

Carry-On Summary

Allegiant Airlines charges a fee between $10-$30 for bringing on board a piece of carry-on baggage. If purchased at the airport, you will be charged $35 for the privilege.

Maximum 1 piece of carry-on can be purchased, with maximum dimensions 9x14x22 inches (23x36x56cm). It is not allowed to weigh any more than 25lbs/11kg.

In addition to the carry-on bag, you can bring a "personal item" for free, such as a purse, briefcase, or small backpack. This free item is quite small, with maximum dimensions of 7x15x16in, and must be kept by your feet.

Be wary of packing too much as carry-on, as Allegiant Air is quite strict when it comes to measuring and weighing your bags, and will charge additional fees if it is oversize/overweight.

You can save by reserving your carry-on baggage before you arrive at the airport. If booked in advance, the baggage fee for your carry-on bag is up to USD 35 per bag, per segment with the specific amount depending on your departure and arrival airports. For travel starting August 13, 2014, bags added after your initial booking, pre-departure, will cost USD 15 to USD 43. A segment consists of one takeoff and one landing.
